i wanna kick everybody in the fucking teeth

Roses are red
Sweetly sings the lark
Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth
You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people
Wow wow wow. She's a chair.

A pair of flat-soled shoes with long, squared toes. The front half of the shoes and the backs of the heels are covered with black kid leather, and the rest of the shoe is tan wool.
Footwear Friday once again! These everyday shoes were owned by Margaret Gorsline Baker (1820-1853) of Stillwater, NY during her short adult life. Their square toes and flat soles are au courant with the fashions of the 1830s-1850s. www.facebook.com/fenimoreartm... 🗃️🪡
These are for burning money for the underworld at Chinese gravesites. I know, because I've been part of the ceremonies about 100 times.
A screen capture from a BBC article, it reads ”Thatcher Fest will begin in her home town on 13 October and will include a drag show and talks by former minister Edwina Currie and TV personality Gyles Brandreth"
I think I've accidentally taken some drugs.

Gonna wish y’all a Pride. It don’t need to be happy. Be mad as hell, girl. Key a car. Terrorize a homophobe. Be the gay bully you’re meant to be. This is the year to do it. Throw a brick for me.

Grackles are gorgeous and entitled.
fuck the leadership at The New York Times, too
A women's red face, with eyes looking upward, with a background of organic shapes, black, yellow, white and bright blue.
I finished this new collage/painting today, but I've been working on it, one way or another, for a few years. I think it's related to my mother -- the woman's face ended up looking like her. #art, #collage, #acrylicpainting, #painting, #artist
